Barcelona are reportedly willing to offer a contract extension to Gerard Martin.
Under Hansi Flick, Martin has emerged as a vital component of Barca’s future. According to Mundo Deportivo as claimed by Barca Universal, the young defender, whose contract expires in 2025, is currently in talks with the club about an extension.
Barcelona are interested in nailing down the 22-year-old’s future because he may become a free agent in less than a year.
The negotiations are reportedly in progress, and there are rumors of a new four-year contract that would boost his release clause. This will ensure the club keep him around and would require taking this crucial move.
The Catalan club have already spoken with Martin’s representatives multiple times, indicating that they want to keep him in the team. Flick has had a significant impact on these conversations since he views Martin as an essential component of his plans.
The youngster has shown promise, having debuted against Valencia in the opening game of the Laliga season and starting in the encounter against Rayo Vallecano.

Martin has demonstrated Flick’s believe in him as the German continues to provide him with opportunity to excel on the pitch.
The defender has made eight appearances for the first team squad thus far. And he has even provided an assist. In the three games he started, he has encountered some difficulties, though, as his performances have not lived up to the mark.
